Kyle Rittenhouse’s Lawyer Says Trump Jr. is an ‘Idiot’ and That He Doesn’t Want Republicans Trading on His Client’s Celebrity
Minutes after Kyle Rittenhouse was found not guilty on all charges, the far-right reacted as if their team had just won the super-bowl. Particularly egregious were controversial Reps. Matt Gaetz and Paul Gosar. Rittenhouse’s lawyer Mark Richards wasn’t ok with their behavior. In fact, Richards said that he found it disgusting.
“They’re raising money on it and you have all these Republican congressmen saying come work for me,” the lawyer said. “There’s a lot of people trying to profit on this, and I don’t think people should.”
Richards continued, “They’re raising money on it and you have all these Republican congressmen saying come work for me. They want to trade on his celebrity and I think it’s disgusting.”
Not surprisingly, Donald Trump Jr. was all over the situation. The former president’s son tweeted (now deleted), “Gun Owners of America is sending Kyle Rittenhouse an AR-15. Sign the card in support of Kyle. Americans have a fundamental right to defend themselves and to keep and bear arms. The verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial is a recognition of those rights.”
When asked about the message, Richards said, “He’s an idiot. I don’t have to expand on that because it speaks for itself.”
